A 3 year old girl has been successfully rescued from debris 65 hours after an earthquake hit Turkey’s Aegean coast.

Elif Perincek was pulled from the rubble in western Izmir province after spending nearly 3 days in the rubble, Anadolu Agency reports. The toddler’s mother and ten year old twin siblings were also rescued in an earlier operation after 23 hours, though tragically her seven year old brother lost his life.

She has been taken to hospital and is the 106th person to be rescued by Turkey’s emergency services after a 6.6 magnitude earthquake ripped across the country’s southern coastline on Friday.
